Thanks Walter and Marco. Those two tool/method do resolve short term
needs. Thanks again.
(btw, the URL form Walter should be
ftp://ftp.bieringer.de/pub/linux/IPv6/ipv6calc/ )

Beside them, is any potential possibility to have something build-in
in BIND config/zone file as kind of beautiful (my, and my team,
personal point of view) solution?

Anyone knows if there was any similar discussions inside BIND
developer group before?
